Overview

Fungi are a diverse kingdom of eukaryotic organisms that includes yeasts, molds, and mushrooms, distinguished from plants and animals by their cell walls of chitin and their mode of obtaining nutrients through absorption. They play indispensable ecological roles as decomposers that break down organic matter and recycle nutrients, as symbionts that partner with plants and other organisms, and as agents of disease in plants, animals, and humans. Fungi are also of immense practical value, underpinning the production of bread, cheese, fermented beverages, antibiotics, and other pharmaceuticals. Research on fungal diversity documents the range of fungal life across habitats and examines its ecological, agricultural, and medical significance. The journal's research reflects this breadth, including "Keratinophilic Fungi: Diversity And Abundance in the Soil of Ajmer District, Rajasthan" (2025), which surveys soil-dwelling fungi, "Variation of Ethnomycological Knowledge in a Community from Central Mexico" (2019), which explores human knowledge and use of fungi, and "Mucormycosis: A Surge in Mucorales Fungal Infection in Post–Covid Patients" (2021), which addresses fungal infection in clinical settings. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to fungi and fungal diversity, supporting mycologists, ecologists, and biomedical researchers studying the classification, ecology, and impact of fungi.
